So Broody Mum is sitting on 5 introduced fertile eggs and we made her a little run/enclosure so that the other girls didn't try and get onto the nest. She doesn't get off the nest for anything and I noticed this afternoon that she's done a big stinky poop in her nest with the eggs! Should I be cleaning the nest out for her? It will mean having to take the eggs out from under her, then let her out while I clean up and then get her back on the nest to introduce the eggs back under her otherwise I'm worried she'll step on them. Is this too much disturbance at Day 15? And will the poop cause any problems with the eggs?
